The citizens of Argentina, a southern hemisphere country, are battling heavy snowfall. A snowfall that lasted 28 hours in the country’s ski region, Las Leñas, caused vehicles to be stranded on clogged roads. Efforts to open the highways continue with construction equipment.
The meteorology department stated that heavy snowfall would continue in Las Lenas and warned citizens not to travel there.
In a joint statement, 25 countries and EU Commissioner for Crisis Management Hadja Lahbib demanded an immediate end to the war in Gaza, warning that civilian suffering has reached “unprecedented depth.” The statement condemned Israel’s restriction of aid, calling it inhumane and a violation of international law. It urged Israel to lift all barriers on humanitarian access and allow UN operations. The signatories also rejected forced displacement plans and warned that Israel’s renewed E1 settlement plan threatens the two-state solution. They called for a ceasefire and renewed peace efforts backed by the U.S., Qatar, and Egypt.
